Pew Research Center: "Today’s scientists are more likely than the general American public to be concerned about population growth"
Scientists more worried than public about world?s growing population | Pew Research Center
What say you!
As our population has grown, I have watch farmland disappear beneath concrete, asphalt, shopping malls and centers come, suburbs and sub divisions take over once good, rich farmland. Our loss of farmland continues at an amazing rate. If not for hybrid seed and other innovations, we'd probably have a ton of hungry, starving people with just the population we have now.
Probably only a person born and raised on a farm would worry about the disappearing farmland. But to grow food and raise animals to eat, land is required. Unless we can somehow come up with chemicals in a pill to replace food, then yes, population is a problem.
